Sikkim to allow construction works from April 21
Sikkim on Tuesday decided to allow construction and farming activities from April 21 to sustain the livelihood of the poor in the state, Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang said. Farmers will be required to follow the guidelines on maintaining social distance in their fields, while contractors can resume construction activities by engaging only local labour force, he told reporters. Tamang thanked the people of Sikkim for their cooperation in the enforcement of the lockdown since March 25 and said it has been due to a collective effort that the state has been able to prevent the coronavirus outbreak.
